[BLEEP] that don't vacate the fast lane when someone is coming up behind them.  I don't care if you're already going over the speed limit, get the hell out of the way.  You're causing traffic.

I have never understood why anyone wants to back into a parking space.   Maybe they have an expired tag?  Otherwise, it seems like it'd be a lot easier to back out of a parking space than to back into one.

I drive a 2002 extended cab Chevy Silverado and, for me, it's easier to back into parking spots due to the wide wheelbase Chevy's have. They are notorious for not being able to make tight turns. I've pretty much perfected the art of backing a Chevy/GMC truck into a spot thanks to years of having to do so if I don't want to make a three point turn just to go forward into a spot. Give me a Ford though and I'm screwed when backing into a spot. They have shorter wheelbases and I over-correct if I'm driving my husband's work truck, so I always pull in and try to pull through. I hate backing out of a parking spot. 

Also, in the military we were always backing into spots for faster extraction should a quick getaway be necessary. Plus, all those vehicles have wide wheelbases so it was always easier to back them into their motor pool slot then drive straight out when leaving. A hard habit to break.
